Blink, Blink…. Wow, how did that happen??.. I blinked twice and summer is almost gone.. Did you blink too?

Hard to believe, but fall, yes fall, is rushing toward us full steam ahead. Registration for fall soccer recreation league is in full swing and will close registration on August 18th. There may be additional spots available after that date but registrations will be accepted on a first come-space available basis and will cost $40.00 per registration.

The fall league will kick off the first week of September and end October 13th. Soccer picture day is scheduled for September 8th and we will have the annual parent/player game that day as well. We expect that practices for the Fall league will begin the week of August 20th as the initial team rosters are completed and coaches can schedule practice times with their teams.

With the expanding interest in soccer and the additional players that sign up each year, Rossville Area Youth Soccer is always in need of interested individuals to offer their time and talents as coaches, assistant coaches and league coordinators. Please consider if you could dedicate a few evening and weekend hours to assisting a team this fall. If you have interest or just want to find out more information about what is available, please contact Kirk Saylor at gofigure@geetel.net.

Lastly, this fall season we are considering a short end of season tournament for teams U-8 and above for those that are interested in participating. The focus of the tournament will remain on ‘fun’ as it is for the recreation league in general but the tournament is a way to give the players a small taste of a tournament atmosphere. Details of the end of season tournament will be announced as the regular season winds down.

Summer may have gone fast, but we looking forward to enjoying the fall!
